depends on what they used. Red Dot and Blue Dot and Green Dot are called that for a reason. Win 231 is a steel blue color. As I said, put a match to a little bit of it. If you get smoke, it's unburned powder. If it was collecting on your feed ramp, or the gap between your ramp and barrel, or the extractor, then I would say you had a problem But it's pretty much strewn everywhere.
Short barrels leave unburned powder...it's that simple. When ammo companies work up a load, they use a barrel fixture in the 5-6" range. Less bullet time in the barrel=less time for a clean burn. It's powder
